RECRUITING

SCI&U Peer Health Coaching Program for Individuals Newly Discharged From Inpatient Rehabilitation

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the online program and web-based platform for delivery of self-management services to people with spinal cord injury (SCI) called "SCI \& U" can support transitions from hospital to the community after injury. Specifically, can providing support from trained peer health coaches via the SCI \& U web-based self-management program increase health self-management among those within three years of a spinal cord injury with a planned discharge to or living in the community with SCI for less than two years in the province of British Columbia, Canada or the state of Connecticut, United States. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does the SCI \& U web-based self-management program lower emotional distress and increase self-efficacy Researchers will compare those who participate in SCI \& U with those who receive usual peer support after 6 months to see if the SCI \& U program improves self-management knowledge, skills and self-efficacy and decreases secondary complications Participants will: * engage in up to 14 online sessions, each of which lasts about an hour with a peer health coach trained in motivational interviewing, goal setting and brief action planning. During sessions, they may also review resources and create follow up plans on the online platform on health management topics * complete an interviewer administered survey at baseline, 6 and 12 months
